Thanks to 'Pansywhite' for a lovely parcel. Unfortunately son has my camera at TAFE (College) so am unable to post picture. Will do so as soon as he brings it home.

3 balls of baby yarn, lots of scrapbooking papers, MUSK lollies, card embellishment, 3D writing paper, mini shopping bag, keyring, jasmine-scented soap, purse pack tissues and a couple of postcards of Tasmania.

Thanks Pat. Lovely :thumbup: :-D

I would like to thank Heather (busy worker bee ) for great parcel that arrived today. Love the yarn, actually i was looking for a hot pink cotton yarn for cardi's for GD's. Bought each a dress for their birthdays in fortnight. Love the phone case. Have wanted to make myself one but with everyone else's wishes hav'nt fitted it in. phone is already in its new home. Cute little night light. The buttons I once had are pretty. #DD pinched them to make a school project, will have to hide these. Already into the choccie. DH doesn't like dark choc, so all for me. Forgot to put photo in file. Will do it and post
You are so very welcome Sharon (Raffa). I am so happy that you were pleased with your parcel. I love making the coathanger covers and it is a pity that I can't always fit one in my swap buddy's parcel. I even surprised myself that I was able to fit it in this time. I am glad your daughter liked her dad's beanie. I am knitting another one at the moment but it seems to be taking me forever to make. Too much happening .... LOL. Love Jenny xxxx
Irene I love your blanket for the chair - great colours and yarns. Clever use of the fun fur (I am guessing that is what it is) and really makes the blanket special. Jenny xx
Many thanks to Doris for a lovely parcel, wool in my favourite colours, pens, key ring,tea(Lady Grey is the best!),lavender sachet , sweet crochet flower and pot holder, knitted cake pattern book.. will do some of these for grand kids play house.
Also a book of Christmas stocking patterns which I have been thinking about doing for ages and the most beautiful cross stitch pattern book, I was in heaven when I saw this, even though I have quite a few cross stitch projects on the go I will be starting one of these tonight, there are so many lovely things I can make for Christmas. Thank you so much, such a lovely surprise !

Would love to see it. That pattern was on a band of yarn years ago. I can not remember making it. Happy Knitting!

Thank You to my swap buddy. What a great surprise after a very busy day.

WOW. Where do I start. In the parcel was yarns, knitting lace, doll clothes pattern, knitting needles guide (this is going straight in my knitting folder, so I can find it! Ha Ha), note paper, pictures, knitting bag, handy tissue pack, blings which I will use on my scrapbooking, teas, macadamia & cranberry bar, snap lock bags, a lovely knitted teddy bear and facewasher and mitt, and for the mystery parcel, "For the Dad" Dinnermints.

Thank You so much, you have made my day.

Hi everyone,
Looking at the goodies every one has received makes me feel so delighted and happy that our swap is going so well. Wondering if all have received their Sept parcels yet?

I am happy that everyone loved their surprise packet, it was just a small gesture for being in this group.

I never thought we will get to doing more than a year!
I have to put my swap pic too, hopefully tomorrow!
HAPPY SWAPPING!

Hello Jenni

Thanks so much for my great swap parcel! I love all the purple-crochet cotton, yarn, stationery and beads.

Thanks for even thinking about my toy poodle-Lily-Rose-she loves her new fetch toy!

The scissors and cream have gone into one of my many knitting bags-one bag per project:)

Thanks again,

Helen C

So glad you liked your parcel, was stressing a little when i couldn't find what iwanted
I know what you mean I am like that all the time so I end up with a lot of things and then have to work out what to do with them
Thank Vicky,
I received this lovely parcel, it came to me as a surprise with a beautiful pink bag, which I needed the most, now I can take my Laptop and wool together in the same bag, whever ever I go.
The 3 Elicia wool balls were perfect to make scarf and dress for my friends daughter who is 2 years old, the magnifying glass with chain and elicia patterns.
Thanks once again.
Hope all are getting ready for the October swap
Cheers
Doris
